Facebook Home for any Android Mobile

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3b3128; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; padding: 5px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> “Ooh, I’d like that new Facebook Home. Can you put it on my phone?”</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3b3128; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; padding: 5px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> So began a quest of almost Greek Epic proportions as I first tried to explain to my wife that no, Facebook Home won’t run on her LG Optimus P920 3D (I was rebuffed with “that’s the third Ron you’ve installed since you bought me it!” – no, I didn’t mention that we call them ‘ROMs’). Later, after some research, I then attempted to prise the phone out of her social network infested fingers so that I could test if the potential solution I had found would actually work.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3b3128; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; padding: 5px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> With some surprise, I found that Facebook Home does indeed work on the LG Optimus P920 3D – and it works on many other older, “unsupported” devices too, just as long as you install a specially adjusted version.</div> <h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3b3128; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 20px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> What Is FB Home?</h2> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3b3128; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; padding: 5px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Facebook Home is the social networking giant’s new app for Android, a sort of mini launcher that can be used to replace your home screen and replace it with a Facebook-ized experience that puts your social connections to the forefront.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3b3128; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; padding: 5px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <img alt="facebook home" class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/muo-fbhome-androidhack.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: block; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 10px auto; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3b3128; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; padding: 5px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> The effect is a visually pleasing experience with a regularly changing background collected from images uploaded by your friends, status updates and a single button to drag open the messenger, apps list and settings.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3b3128; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; padding: 5px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <br /></div> <h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3b3128; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 20px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Facebook Home Compatibility</h2> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3b3128; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; padding: 5px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> The problem many users will face with Facebook Home is threefold. First, it is designed only for Android 4.0 and later, so the many millions of Android device owners still running Froyo and Gingerbread will be excluded (unless they can find an Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean ROM).</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3b3128; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; padding: 5px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> There is a second problem in that Facebook has only made the app available to a narrow selection of devices, listed on Google Play as “including the Samsung Galaxy S III, Samsung Galaxy Note II, HTC One X and HTC One X+”. Presumably there some others, but they aren’t listed.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3b3128; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; padding: 5px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> A third issue is that users in certain countries are unable to install Facebook Home, even if there device is supported.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3b3128; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; padding: 5px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> It is worth noting that Facebook Home is a sort of umbrella app that uses the standard Facebook and Facebook Messenger apps. So for a user with a compatible device and Android version, all three apps would need to be installed.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3b3128; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; padding: 5px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> But what if you don’t own a suitable device, or live in an unsupported country?</div> <h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3b3128; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 20px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Installing Facebook Home</h2> <div> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just click on the link and download the apk file of Facebook HOME.</span></div> <div> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After Download the file open it and install.</span></div> <div> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div> <span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before Install Facebook HOME make sure that Facebook App and Facebook Messenger were installed in your Android device.</span></div> <div> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div> <div> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thankyou </span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3ER9tfhcy7NUEZLM3o4d1dxSHM/edit?usp=sharing"><img border="0" height="145" src="http://www.thebrowserdownload.com/download_button.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3b3128; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 20px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </h2> </div>
